baylor stays under the radar, but they have a legit squad!!!
Baylor's offense is scary.

I'm stunned TCU has looked so bad on defense.
If not for two 60+ kick returns this would be a blowout right now.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Cuts
The 53 we’ll have at the end of tomorrow won’t be the 53 we have a couple days after. I think we’ll be aggressive signing help at LB, OL, and WR.

speaking of adding on the OL
Do we have any idea what made Smithiak pick up Andrew Gardner?

Um, who?

and as for WRs
I actually think we don’t pick up any WRs. I think the team is sufficiently satisfied with Andre Johnson, Kevin Walters, Jacoby Jones, and Bryant Johnson. With the receiving talent we have at TE/FB and the formations we can show and shift to, I would be surprised to see the Texans put 4 WRs on the field simultaneously at any time this season.
aka quikkag
At worst
We’ll be looking for PS help. I still think – and there’s no use trying to argue differently with me because it ain’t gonna work :-) – there’s no way we can be happy with Bryant Johnson. Absolutely one of the worst WRs in football the past couple of years.

Smithiak doesn't always agree with you and me
I was surprised with the IRing of Lestar Jean. Surely that shoulder injury isn’t that serious. Bryant looked decent in that appalling embarassment that took place last night in the Metrodome. I can’t imagine who will become available that the team would like better than Bryant J.
aka quikkag
The have Lestar as a knee injury on their transaction page

No.
What we need is a defense that doesn’t give up 427 points.

You can give up 427 if you can score 600 at will...
If your defense stops everyone the best you can get is a tie….

Clarification
If your defense stops everyone and your offense can’t score the best you can get is a tie… no penetrations in the pros.

390 points.
More than teams like the Steelers, Packers, Jets, and Bears.
I don’t think we have a problem scoring points here.
Also how did that “just outscore everybody” strategy work out for the Colts, Eagles, Saints, and Patriots last season?

Still not sure what the big deal is about the #4 WR.
That position is practically useless in this offense.
It’s like getting into a huge debate about who should be the #4 RB if we were to keep one.
I’d be surprised if Bryant caught more than 15 passes this year. Casey’s receiving numbers will eclipse the numbers any #4 WR would get here regardless of who we signed.

After an injury to any of the first three the #4 matters in either situation.
That’s why coaches have depth charts….

And depth IS an ISSUE
… did you watch the game last night?
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
The fourth team players getting run over in the 4th quarter?
Yeah I saw it. Most of those guys aren’t going to be here.
As far as RB goes. Foster’s hammy is the thing to worry about. If he comes back healthy then he Ward and Tate will be plenty good as our RB’s.
Although our OLine could use a couple second team replacements.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
But both of those two have health concerns as well
Backs take tolls nowadays…. as D-linemen get bigger faster and stronger
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
All of our RB's have injury concerns.
And the wear and tear for Foster Ward and Tate is pretty low.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I tend to agree
Thus the huge debate about who should be the #4 RB, if we were to keep one. I prefer the one that doesn’t have fused neck vertebrae and missed the entire preseason.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
The kid from UT via Jesuit is a diamond in the rough

But Kubes has a loyalty to Slaton it seems
But one of his faves has to go DD or SS to make that 53.
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
Dorin is gone.
Slaton may be kept as the 4th early in the year until Kubiak is confident Foster is healthy.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Now that DD is gone they will be looking for that spot

Would like for us to not keep 6 corners.
Seems like a wasted roster spot.
Hopefully we keep McManis over McCain. McCain just gets abused some times with his small stature.

T O to Texans.
I don’t post all the time but i will keep putting this on here. TO would be money on the texans. He will block in the running game, he will force teams to not triple/double Andre. Say what you want but he would not be a distraction on a one year deal. Or I say we sign Andy Fantuz….who you say?? Lead the CFL in receptions, yardage. Most oustanding canadian award. He even got his own cereal in canada. Fantuz Flakes. Anyone know who else got their own cereal from the CFL?? Doug Flutie!!! But seriously Andy was a champ for my saskatchewan roughriders. Crazy Hands!! Jerry Angelo just released him(because he is the worst gm) and he is better than bryant johnson

Most people on this site not from Canada so obviously you have never seen him play but thats what the internet is for,google him. He is exactly the type of player Kubes likes. Team captain,quiet hardworker, and most of all he doesn’t drop passes,nor fumble the ball. I m only throwing him into the mix if we are actually going to get another wr. he is better than bryant johnson, Dorin dickerson(who i have hopes for), while slower than JJones he wont drop passes.
...and his stone-fisted zombie hands

That's what Bengals fans said.
Say what you want but he would not be a distraction on a one year deal.
But seriously the fallacy that Andre wouldn’t get doubled with “a better WR” opposite him just doesn’t hold water with me.
He’s had back to back 1500 yard seasons here and has averaged 90+ yards per game four straight years.
Instead of wasting time with a WR well over 30 coming off ACL surgery we should be looking for more pieces on defense. We could use depth at ILB and in other spots in the front 7. And perhaps a fourth safety because depth their is thin right now.

Okay, you know what
Having TO might be just fine, because it might add a touch of “competition” for AJ. He has never had that on his own team. Think about it.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
What does AJ need competition for?
He’s the best in the league. The only thing AJ needs is to keep doing what he’s doing. What he doesn’t need is some diva bullshit locker room distraction.

No sarcasm here, only seriousnes...
How does a better WR #2 lead to Andre not getting doubled? He had monster seasons with average help at the wr position. While I agree that extra depth at defense would be key, if we were looking at another WR why would you go Bryant Johnson over TO. How did that work out for the bengals??
Owens catches 72 yards 983 avg/game 70.2 tds 9
But not to create animosity, haters will hate and the ppl that enjoy TO will stick by him.
I think they thought you weren't serious went you mentioned Andy Fantuz

Although if dre goes down what will a ILB and other fronts contribute to your score?
I am not saying I am in favor of TO ( I am not based on his track record) but we will never make it with Walter and JJ if he does… do you wait until it happens or be proactive? Utilizing another WR WONT prevent doubles but a lightening fast mid range reciever with the ability to break tackles and blazing speed would put a defense in check.

If Cushing and DeMeco can't perform what will having an old WR do for our defense?

I was listening to Charlie Pallilo on 790 during my ride home from work yesterday afternoon and a caller announced he was an avid reader of BattleRedBlog, which received no acknowledgment from Charlie BTW, and the caller reference MDC’s excellent stats comparison of Arian Foster to other RBs. The caller didn’t say who he posts as, so don’t know who it was. Charlie, as usual, took over the conversation and since he is a walking encyclopedia of insignificant sports facts, didn’t really bring much to the topic besides his ego. But, BattleRedBlog received a mention!!!

Yeh, sorry for the long story, but I always get a kick out of how Charlie cuts of callers and turns the conversation into something about himself and how much he knows about the subject
So, usually, callers let him go on and on and when Charlie is done, then the caller can actually get in their question and their opinion on the subject. It’s funny!
